Use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the missing side of each triangle. We will go over this tomorrow, but you are expected to have it completed today to get attendance credit as well as completion points! Keep in mind, your answer can be left as the square root of a number, just like it is in the above example.

You ARE allowed to use a calculator!

Good luck!

Question 1
1.

Find the missing side using the Pythagorean Theorem using these steps:

4. Take the square root

Question 2
2.

Find the missing side using the Pythagorean Theorum.
HINT - In this problem, X is a leg making it an "a" or "b" in the equation. You'll need to balance the equation.

Question 3
3.

Find the missing side using the Pythagorean Theorem.
HINT - In this problem, "u" is a leg making it an "a" or "b" in the equation. You'll need to balance the equation.

Question 4
